For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a splash of Kirsch (cherry liqueur) to the cherry pie filling. To prevent the pound cake from becoming soggy, lightly toast the cubes in a preheated oven (350°F/175°C) for a few minutes before assembling the trifle. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, use a sugar-free or reduced-sugar cherry pie filling. Garnish with fresh cherries and chocolate shavings just before serving for a stunning presentation.
